This guide is organized into the following chapters:

Functions by Handle . Contains sections describing handles and their respective functions. A handle is a reference to an object that can be operated on using the provided functions. Objects include a physical server, a virtual machine, a virtual machine configuration parameter set, a device, a process, etc. Each section contains information about the purpose of a handle and how to create it. Function subsections contain the usual reference information such as syntax, parameters, return codes, and remarks. You can search the guide for a specific function or a keyword, or you can scroll through the handle list, find the handle providing the functionality you need, and then look for a specific function that performs the required task.

Common Functions . Contains information about common and system functions.
